>> that's great. he offered last words of encouragement to bryce petty. >> yeah. speaking of football, florida state, that was a close one on saturday night. got it in there. >> after the show show coming up >> chaos continuing in libya. it reached the abandoned up s. embassy in tripoli. that embassy being guarded by that islamic militant group. all of the area near by has been overone. >> the so-called dawn of libya group he telling the associated press that they have been in control of the abandoned post since last week.
6:01 am
the group posting this video online reportedly showing militant gunmen enjoying the cia swimming pool. the post was abandoned last month because of the threat of violence. >> reporter: the cia residential complex looks in pretty good shape. the pool is green with algae. an associated press reporter says there is minor damage from gub and rocket fire. inside the facet tables are still set with napkins and silverware. a commander from the militia says they actually had a kick a rival militia off the ground a week ago when they started to set up shop.
6:02 am
heather: you mentioned the embass are you evacuated. do we know where they are now. >> reporter: they have been gone since the middle of the summer to malta. this weekend. there was a tweet i have not set foot in libya since july 26, sadly. they put 0 out this statement saying we believe the embassy compound itself remains secure. we continue to monitor the compound on the ground. the primary reason the u.s. temporarily relocated our personnel was because of the military operations close to our compound. it's not clear who was tasked
6:03 am
with guarding these american buildings. but based on these buildings we are seeing, it appears whoever those guard were have not been very effective. heather: they haven't been cleaning the pool either with all that green allergy you mentioned. eric: there are new calls on president obama to get tougher on isis. lawmakers criticizing the president after he came out last thursday admitting he does not have a strategy yet on how to deal with the radical islamic terrorist group in syria. >> we have had a year that the president talked about trying to put together in strategy in syria. it's important that he used a term "we have no strategy in syria." >> this president is very cautious. maybe in this instance too cautious. eric: will there be a strategy?
6:04 am
there is a stunning defense and admission from dan pfeiffer of the "washington post" saying the president has his own timetable and says there is no timetable that will need to tackle newspaper speed. >> if it were on republicans he could dismiss that and it's partisan. but there are democrats look you just saw, senator dianne feinstein, there are democrats criticizing him. she was devastating on the the sunday shows. not only did she say she thought the president was too cautious. but she pointed to an op-ed in the "new york times" by lindsey
6:05 am
graham and john mccain titled "stop dithering and confront isis." eric: he said he was elected to end the wars and not start them. >> that's certainly the president's position. i don't think he's going to move away from his no boots on the ground position in iraq. but i think you see his critics, including mccain and graham saying there are so much things that could be done to confront isis, additional bombing and additional intelligence. more spotters and people on the ground in iraq that could be done without addition of combat troops. i think what you are going see is an increasing number of democrats looking to the president saying you have to come up with a strategy now. eric: why isn't the president ordering that right now? >> we are getting to see back
6:06 am
and forth accusations between the pentagon and the white house. we are hearing out of the pentagon people saying we do have some plans. we have ideas of what to do against isis. it's just the president has not put them together into a strategy. pretty much everybody is pointing fingers right now at the white house. >> just look hat this pretty devastating editorial in the investors business daily about no islamic strategy. president obama says we don't have a strategy yet. hillary clinton was wrong about the 3:00 a.m. phone call, the problem is 3:00 p.m. white house phone calls. clearly these barbaric fanatics are at war with us. what kind of judgment do you make when you answer that red phone. the answer is obvious, an absent of judgment as the phone is never picked up.
6:07 am
that's pretty devastating. >> this news conference the president held thursday where he said we don't have a strategy has been devastating for him. before he could say his strategy was to be caution. to not do anything precipitously that might make the situation worse. after the news conference people looked at his inaction and they are saying this is not a deliberate plan of the president. he just doesn't know what to do. eric: meanwhile the world waits on president obama to see what he will indeed do. thank you for joining us this morning. heather: british prime minister david cameron will outline tougher measures including the possibility of seizing passports. this after the government raised the terror level last week.
6:08 am
what are we expecting to hear from david cameron today? >> the. he has been meeting with his coalition partner throughout the week toonld hammer out detail -- weekend to hammer out details. we are expecting him to talk about that later today. he indicated he would be tracking down harder on british citizens suspected of joining the islamic states to make it easier to strip these fight were their british passports. this can be done to an extent but it's what the government wants to strengthen this legislation. it's thought 500 british citizens have gone out to fight in iraq and syria. the. he wants to prevent them returning to the u.k. he's expected to announce plans to share information about terror suspects with other governments like turkey and germany.
6:09 am
the prime minister says he wants more to be done about this threat which he says is greater than ever before. heather: why the need to strengthen legislation? >> reporter: i think the government is very concerned about how many of these british citizens are going out to iraq and syria and the level of brute at violence they have been engaged in there. the real worries is what these people could do if and when they return to the u.k. and europe. some of them have been engaged in horrific violence, bea headings and maps killings. now a number of these fighters have returned to the u.k., but the gifts under enormous pressure to prevent more coming back in future. this is by no means an easy problem to tackle. heather: thank you. eric: the chairman of the house
6:10 am
intelligence committee raising a red flag about the president's slow reaction to isis and whether it will give our enemies some ideas of their own. heather: vladimir putin calling for statehood talks in eastern ukraine. after moscow is accused of waging a par of aggression and terrorism on the continent. eric: a joyride in a small plane and it turned deadly. >> they do love flying and it was a beautiful day. >> it's very sad. there was a lot of panicked people around. hey pal? you ready?
6:11 am
can you pick me up at 6:30? ah... (boy) i'm here! i'm here! (cop) too late. i was gone for five minutes! ugh! move it. you're killing me. you know what, dad? i'm good.

(vo) the longest-lasting midsize sedan in its class. introducing the all-new subaru legacy. it's not just a sedan. it's a subaru.
6:12 am
6:13 am
6:14 am
eric: five people have been killed after their small plane crashed. the piper barely missed the homes. witnesses say they heard the plane's engines sputtering moment before it crashed. >> they were shouting get out of here lierkt was going to blow up. we heard it flying low, then we heard it sputter and definitely quiet. eric: it as you on its way to the airport north of denver when it did crash. heather: vladimir putin calling for talks on ukraine. russia's leader saying that the
6:15 am
priority should be reaching a ceasefire agreement as ukraine forces lose some more ground to pro-russian rebels. we have the former secretary of defense to ronald reagan kt farland. is this more smoke and mirrors? what does this mean to you? >> we are looking at this and thinking it's a rugs invasion. russia is going to take off area in eastern ukraine and claim it. what russia is doing is making all of ukraine so politically unstable. the fighting in eastern ukraine driving away investment. ukraine is badly in debt to russia. it has no natural gas coming into ukraine because russia raised the price and russia says no more natural gas until you
6:16 am
pay us what you owe us. ukraine needs western investment, loans and bailout. people are saying we don't want to invest in a war zone. when i was in ukraine at the beginning of the summer the ukrainian was in trouble. no tourists, no foreign investment, the ukrainian currency was falling. what ukrainians told me is this is putin's phoney war and we need money and we are in such dire straits we may have to cut a deal with russia and russia's terms. heather: it seems similar to what we hear from president obama when he talks about sanctions and russia and what he thinks will work. >> the sanction have made a big effect on russia.
6:17 am
especially top-level russians. more sanctions will have an even greater effect on the russian economy. but if you are vladimir putin what are you thinking? you are thinking i have seen in the past hundreds of years russian history. russian leaders get rid of countries that have a bad economy. if putin looks like it's getting pushed around by obama or germany or europe then the russian people stand up. vladimir putin wants to keep his own position in russia. before ukraine, before cr crime, before all this fighting putin's popularity was in obamaland. now he's made himself quite popular at home by this. heather: ukraine is one of a
6:18 am
dozen countries that border russia. if we do nothing what does that say to them and are they in danger do you believe? >> they are all nervous if putin gets away with this in ukraine, they are next. the continues with those country, poland, lithuania, they are nato members and there is a clause in the nato treaty that says an attack on one is an attack on all. i think putin's ultimate goal is to show nato to be ineffective. but he has to take eastern ukraine first. heather: in reference to the nato meeting this week, what do you think will happen and what do you think president obama will do? >> it could be a busy series of meetings. barack obama will be talking about the crisis in the middle east and they will be talking
6:19 am
about putin and ukraine. i think a lot of what end up happening in these nato meetings will be up to the germans. what does angela merkel of germany want to do? does she want a negotiated agreement or does she wants to step you are sanctions. but in the end i think vladimir putin end up doubling down and not backing down. eric: for the first time since that deadly racing accident nascar driver tony stewart has returned to the track. we'll have the latest on his comeback as the investigation continues on the death of thatter driver. heather: new photos leaks of celebrities which shows no one's

6:30 am
eric: house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers says the administration's apparent wait and see approach in syria to the radical islamic terrorists of isis he says is empowering other enemies of our country. >> we find it consist between the his past policy and actions on foreign policy and shows his foreign policy is in absolute free-fall. if you look at china and isis and russia and iran, north korea, we have a searess was most of problems presenting ourselves and our traditional allies are standing up saying maybe america is not the best ones to lead us through these troubles. that's an issue we'll have to deal with. eric: jamie weinstein,
6:31 am
free-fall, is that fair or on the mark? >> i think the congressman is correct. what we are seeing is the culmination of president obama's foreign policy. you see bad actors around the world. they look to the united states and they get signals from the president. since he came into office he sent clear messages to the interest nationality community whether he wanted to or not. the defense budget was cut and he moved troops out of iraq and afghanistan. he made statements setting red lines then doesn't back them up. the other day he said we don't have a strategy. we'll only take actions when there is not too much risk to us. these messages have meaning to the world's bad actors. wheeric: the president said thursday we have no strategy
6:32 am
dealing with isis in syria. what is the reaction of isis as they kin their march? and of course you have got ukraine, an invasion by vladimir putin. the iranian president says he won't cooperate with america. and north korea firing a missile. >> ask yourself a question. after president obama's press conference would a dictator be more likely or necessary likely to pursue nefarious ambitions? whether that's capture for territory or plan an attack against the u.s. it's not only our enemies watching. our allies are watching, too. we were cut out of trying to
6:33 am
negotiate the peace between israel and hamas. egypt didn't want us in there because we were causing more problems than good. egypt launched an attack on. eric: our allies are look at us to meet. this week will be the meeting in wales. chuck hagel will be there and john kerry has been dispatched to the middle east to bailed coalition against isis. >> there are a lot of actors who don't want to see isis succeed. but we need tangible action. isis moved in formation so they can be bombed. we are not increasing the bombing attacks on those
6:34 am
formations before isis takes the tactics of other terrorist groups. i think there is a coalition that can be built. but we need more definitive action. we'll see a lot more happen not only with isis and russia's put * you see them act he will where as well as see iran and china take signals from the president and pursue some of their goals. the antithesis of what they want to see as americans. eric: prime minister david cameron is taking actions in britain. >> i think anybody who waves an isis flag on our streets we should give them a one-way ticket to live in one of the caliphates they said they always wanted.
6:35 am
eric: there could be a few hundred americans who believe that and have joined isis. thank you for joining us on labor day. heather: more controversy over obama care affecting people who get understand through their work. jim engel uncovering big consciouses for americans who already have healthcare. >> reporter: analysts predict it will mean the end of employer-provided insurance with former obama advisor writing 80% of the plants will disappear in 10 years. >> it will be better for people. most people who get their coverage through an employer don't have choice. reporter: the wall street firm goes even further predicting 90% of such plans will disappear.
6:36 am
>> the companies will be hard pressed to justify why they would continue to spended the kind of money they spend by offering insurance through corporate plans when there is an alternative suction died by the government. >> reporter: the penalty for not offering understand, $2,000 per worker is much less than the cost of providing it. >> for a worker making $15 an hour, typical employer coverage for a family costs $15,000 or $16,000. that's more than hatch of that workerser's annual wage. >> reporter: creating an incentive to shift workers to the exchanges. but barack obama criticized the republic' can proposal. >> this would lead to the unraveling the employer-based healthcare system. report lrmt he was reefing to a
6:37 am
proposal to offer $5,000 for a tax-free credit. senator obama pounced on the idea. >> what he doesn't tell you is he's going to tax your employer based healthcare benefits for the first time ever. >> reporter: but analysts predict obamacare will eliminate those plans all together. >> he accused john mccain of trying to under mine the employer-based understand now obamacare may erode the health insurance provided by employers. >> reporter: he predicts it will send 150 million people into fawm obamacare instead of getting tax-free coverage tatd work. eric: we were talking with other
6:38 am
potential acts by the bad actors against our country. in north korea three americans are being held and asking for help from washington. hoping they can send a representative to negotiate for their freedom. pyongyang allowed media access to the three. they are expected to face trial within one month. those two are accused of anti-state crimes up as leaving a bible in a hotel room. missionary and tour guide kenneth bay says his health is deteriorating at labor camp. he's accused of trying to overthrow the north core we ran government. heather: nude photos leaked of oscar stars including jennifer lawrence.
6:39 am
eric: a bomb threat at an airport that forces everybody out' one terminal. have you * we were having lunch before our flight. they walked up and accepted everybody has to get out. and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems,
6:40 am
such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
6:41 am
6:42 am
eric: a bomb threat forced the evacuation of a terminal at kathleen sebeliuterm.terminal a. >> our parents are freak out and we don't know what's going on. that's probably the scariest part not knowing. eric: it turns out there was no bomb but the flights were delayed because of that threat. they say the person who made that threat ... heather: dozens of nude photos
6:43 am
leaked in a massive hacking scandal. the images allegedly show most of the celeb lights nude or in provocative poses. sources tell tmz is this is a violation. jennifer brandt is a criminal law torn. we are talking about celebrities right here. but this could happen to anyone. any one of us given the technology we use, our cell phones and computer systems. i want to begin with what any of us can do to protect our privacy online and what avenues can we take if someone hacks into that. >> i think the take away message is we need to be mindful of what we put out on the internet. even if you think it's private
6:44 am
and even if it's in your private account. you have to be cautious that someone might hack into the account. that's number one. it's not a great idea to post nude photos of yourself. even if they were deleted. the other thing you need to to is worry about your passwords. some people are lazy. they make up complex password and use them over multiple accounts. if someone breaks in and gets your password they can use that for private information. i believe the i cloud has a two-step everification. it's time consuming and hard to remember all those different password. if you have information out there you should, really try. if you don't want anyone to access it you have to try to protect it. >> the i cloud system, the
6:45 am
anding i cloud specifically is being said the hacker was able to get in through that and obtain those pictures. some are saying they are not pictures of them and others saying they were deleted long ago. those are the things we can do to protect ourselves. but if a hacker like this does get in what legal steps can we take? >> you should contact law enforcement officials. contact police because these can be state crimes and federal crimes. it depend on where they did the hacking from and where they sent the material they got out of your system and computer. people who do these things can face prison time. you have got to report it to the police. >> with that, it's very hard to prosecute these people because it's hard to track them down. given that the internet has such a far creech let the world it's
6:46 am
hard to even locate where these people are. what you should do is a protective measure. try to protect you're information and watch what you are putting out there. >> reporter: people are getting smarter and smarter. they are also able to access information about r about your credit card online. there is identity theft. what about if not the individual that did the original hacking, but say another website, twitter or there was perez hilton, he was a blogger, reposted the pictures. what legal ramifications can be had against them? >> the statutes provide once someone realized their information is floating around they can seek an injunction to stop anyone from using the stolen property or the stolen images or emails or whatever the case may be. at that point whoever is using the images which they now should know because the court system said you can't use it, because .
6:47 am
they are illegal. heather: i was reading through what potentially may have happened and it may have been a glitch in the icloud system. could they be sued? >> if there is a dplich in the system and it was their fault or they didn't have the proper security measures, i think they face some liability as well. if you rely on their privacy policy to put private information up there with the believe it's going to be kept private. if there is something wrong the system they can take liability as well. >> i think it is possible there could be civil liability. criminal liability may be a different question.
6:48 am
but there could be dollars at risk for the company that makes a mistake of not keeping data secure when they promise to do that. >> whether it be your reputation if pictures are leaked or if it be monetarily. thank you both for joining us. we appreciate it. and we'll see what happens in this case. eric: if you don't want nude pictures of you on the internet, don't take nude pictures. heather: if you don't want stuff out there don't put it on internet but they don't listen. eric: everyone thinks it's private. don't take those nude pictures. heather: get yours off now. eric: a facility that was there to serve our country. look at what the islamic fighters are doing.
6:49 am
they are jumping into the pool. everybody in the pool at that abandoned diplomatic post. the state department said they are not even sure who is in charge there. how did this happen. what can we do and how can we make sure this doesn't happen again. >> an incredible new program teaching veterans new ways to protect our homeland. we have a full report on our firefighting vets. ergy. but the energy bp produces up here ergy. creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

6:54 am
fighting wildfires isn't just a job, it's a perfect fit. have you very i'm glad it happened because i'm happy here and i love what i do. >> reporter: new mexico launched its returning heroes program two years ago. >> not only finding gainful employment but just the skills we learned in the military like communicating, working as a team and things of that nature translate easily into this program. >> using those skills these men and women work side by side. battling some of the largest wildfires in the southwest. >> i love the crew. they are all veterans, like-minded people. a lot of us are working together for the first time and it feels like we have known each other forever. reporter: so far five of these veterans are gone on to become full-time firefighters. the program is here to say. the governor signed off on the

heather: fox news alert. growing bipartisan calls for president obama and his white house to take decisive action to stop isis terrorists in their tracks before they can terry out an attack on u.s. soil. eric: i'm eric shawn. critics have been slamming president obama's handling of the jihadist militant group. as you know it has attracted jihadists from the west to its
6:59 am
terrorist cause. more airstrikes have hit the group in iraq, more than 100 so far. as they recruit more followers from the west there are new fears they can still hit us here at home. doug, it sounds like the criticism of the president's foreign policy is on both sides of the siel. >> it sure is. the criticism of the president you just cited is coming from dianne feinstein. feinstein. here is what she had to say on "meet the press." >> i learned one thing about this president and that is he's very cautious. maybe in this instance too cautious. i do know the military, i know the state department, i know that others have been putting plans together. and so hopefully those plans will coalesce into a strategy that can encourage that
7:00 am
coalition. >> reporter: even stronger words from the chairman of the house committee mike rogers who took a shot against his entire foreign policy. >> we find it consistent with his past policy and actions on foreign policy. it shows i think that his foreign policy is in absolute free-fall. if you look at china and isis and russia, you look at iran, north korea, we have a serious host of problems presenting itself and our traditional allies are standing up saying maybe america is not the best oneones to lead us through these troubles. >> reporter: his policy of containing isis in iraq continues with some good effect. the a.p. reporting that a small she sight town in northern iraq was ended after a siege of that
7:01 am
town by sunnis. eric: the president is set to meet with stop administration officials. >> reporter: the right house said any involvement in syria would depend on an international coalition. any attempt to arm moderate elements of the opposition could backfire. as dennis kucinich said yesterday, the on moderate in that part of the world are those without weapons. interesting point. back to you. eric: we'll be coughing this throughout the hour. heather: for more we are joined by cheech white house correspondent ed henry filling in for bret prayer. filling -- for bret baier.
7:02 am
criticism from both side of the pond on the way the president responded to this. >> david cameron friday raised the terror threat level in the u.k. and more broadly talked about, look, this is not just a fight with isis, this is a fight with radical islam and britain is not going to be caught on its heels'. david cameron is giving a speech in the house of commons saying he's going to lay out more specifics about this strategy. this puts more pressure on his key ally president obama. they will be together at the nato summit later this week in wales. and you have seen a real contrast here, a president who appears to be on defense when his key ally david cameron is trying to go on offense. it's not like the bring its are jumps ahead with air likes of their own.
7:03 am
at least his approach has appeared to be more aggressive than the president's. >> the president being accused of leading from behind. this time not doing anything at all and having no strategy. and americans are taking notice. democrats and republicans. the last pew research poll. 54% of people saying his foreign policy is not strong enough. do you think he will take that opportunity, the meeting with nato this tweak reset things for his administration and what can he do? >> no doubt about it. any time an american president is on the world stage he will get these questions and have a couple of news conferences. he's stopping in is stonhe's --a before wales. why don't you have those plans when his cabinet secon secretary you have got to deal with syria
7:04 am
if you are going to deal with isis. in fairness, the president has laid out a strategy to deal with isis in iraq. those up s. airstrikes in iraq continued over the weekend. but syria seems to be the key place his own cabinet is saying he has to deal with. so not having a strategy is a problem. when you have the senior advisor dan pfeiffer saying we are never going to catch up to the media news cycle. it many the president's own cabinet who has been talk about dealing with this threat, not just the media. heather: i did want to mention one more thing. congressman mike rogers mentioned on the sunday shows, "fox news sunday," that the president had been warned about this, isis specifically in syria. >> reporter: i was at a news
7:05 am
conference with the president a year ago august at the white house where he was asked by abc news, you keep saying al qaeda core has been decimated, bin laden and the rest. what about these other tear jar groups popping up and the president acknowledged they are a threat and that's why we are putting together a strategy. he said we are work opening that strategy. that was a year ago. heather: let's talk about the world view. you said you are headed to this nato meeting. we have ukraine and the crisis in gaza. how do you think they will be any resolution coming out of these meetings? >> i doubt there will be a resolution. but top of mind will be ukraine and would i like to cite that in particular. the threat isis and the middle east and around the world is a big issue that will come up throughout this nato summit.
7:06 am
but estonia is alongside ukraine and a lot of our allies like poland are very nervous. the white house won't call it an invasion but for all intents and purposes it's been an invasion and the white house hasn't had any answers for it. that will put a lot of pressure on this president. >> we'll see you later on this evening. bye. eric: some extreme weather smog act country. people are wake up to massive flooding. there was a heavy downpour there last night. even the bronx in new york city, at least three people were sent to the hospital after they were struck by lightning during a powerful thunderstorm. >> lightning hit the water or the sand. you can see an explosion.
7:07 am
>> there was a lightning bold that lit up the sky. >> i guess mother nature is not taking labor day weekend off. >> reporter: we had a confirmed tornado in massachusetts. and ef-0 confirmed. it did produce some damage with winds of 85 miles an hour and stayed on the dwrowntd for approximately 4 minutes and tracking 1.7 miles. that unless massachusetts we saw severe weather. today we have the risk for more severe storm as far west as parts of kansas, oklahoma and portions of the great lakes. many of these areas will look at the possibility of damaging winds and large hail. the tornado threat is going to be greatest across parts of southwestern missouri, north eastern oklahoma and southeastern kansas.
7:08 am
so this area right in here, that wraps we have that stayed potential this afternoon and this evening. i want to switch gears and take you into the tropics. we are heading into the atlantic hurricane season peak summertime for activity. we have an area of low pressure the hurricane center is tracking. they are giving it a high chance of become our next main storm or tropical depression within the next 48 hours. it's forecast to remain south of the u.s. but something you will notice is moisture moving into texas and the duffel coast. there will be hot and sticky days. you will be at 99 degree for your high temperature. then you factor in that humidity and this is way it's going to feel like when they head outdoors. 104 in dallas. san antonio will feel like 102.
7:09 am
in memphis, raleigh it will be a hot and sticky labor day today. eric: that means barbeque. heather: a florida a lightning storm forcing the florida gators to cancel their opener. this fan captured two bolts of lightning on camera as they shot out of the sky. they decided to cancel the game. a lot of fans left disappointed but you weren't injured. you love your football but ... eric: you have got to be careful of lightning. listen to the weather forecast. if they say it's coming, it's coming. there is a big scare in the air. what forced one flight on its way to orlando to make an emergency landing?

heather: flight attendants jump into action helping passengers with oxygen masks during an emergency landing. there was a sudden change in the cabin pressure. the pilot landed the plane safely. the airlines paid for passenger hotels overnight and backed them on another flight leaving today. there is no word on what caused the problem to begin with. eric: a militia group claims it is safe guarding the residential compound at the embassy in tripoli. that facility was abandoned last month. they say they are safe guarding it to protect evening and they
7:15 am
are not destroying anything at all. is that true? chuck nash is a fox news military analyst. it's kind of funny but so sad. we evacuate and they have overrun this place and take be it off. what is the message in that? >> the message is as we have tended to withdraw from the world stage there are political vacuums. some of which are starting internal hi, some are starting because of outside influence like the muslim brotherhood. others we created ourselves. libya is a classic example of you better be careful what you ask for because you knight might get it. people predicted libya would turn into somalia. this is a mess and we created by by joining up with the french to go in there and overthrow
7:16 am
qaddafi who was not a sweet heart but at least you didn't have a weapons sliers for all these groups. wait until sudan kicks off. i am echoes. there are second and third order effects. unfortunately when we do foreign policy, it seem we only talk about the first step. and nobody thinks about what step two, three and four look like going into the future. eric: let's look at that video our facility. it looks like they are protecting everything. stuff is in place. this group is the dawn of libya, captain nashua can you tell us about them now that they have taken control of a large swath of tripoli in even our official united states state department
7:17 am
u.s. plates and dish ware are safe. >> well, hopefully they are taking good care of the china. the situation eric is the new dawn, libya dawn, they go by a couple different names. but they are from the eastern part of the country. the eastern part of libya is the second or third largest sourcing pool for what used to be al qaeda in iraq when they were fighting americans in iraq. so it's an islamist-leaning side of the country. what they did was they moved in and took over the airport in tripoli and our facility as you just pointed out because they are supporting the general max national congress. who is the gny? it was the first elected group after qaddafi's overthrow. they were just voted out of office in a recent election in june. the people who were supporting the new guys were at the airport in tripoli and holding our
7:18 am
facility. well, as soon as the new guys come in the house of representatives, the people from the eastern part of the country, the islamists said we would much rather have the islamist based still in charge. now you have two separate governments. two separate prime ministers. new dawn backing the old gnc and the people whacking the new house of representatives. it's a mess. eric: bottom line. 1979, our embalancesy in tehran over -- our embassy in tehran overrun. the bombing of the marine barracks in lebanon. and the attack on the embassy in tripoli that killed our ambassador and three others. what is the message when you see
7:19 am
our embassies overrun and the united states retreating. >> once upon a time there was a guy need usama bin laden. he gave a four-point strategy. attack the part off enemy and force to it withdraw. than that would be us. take over the governments in the region. number three, destroy israel. number four, establish a caliphate. we are following his time line. heather: there is a new experimental drug that could mean the continues between life and death for heart failure patients. how does it work? we'll tell you about this. eric: one player accused and could be in serious trouble with the nfl.

eric: new harsher penalties announced by the national football league against players involved in domestic violence, that may soon be put to a test. ray mcdonald, star defensive end for the san francisco 49ers. he was arrested over the weekend on domestic violence charges. police charged him with domestic abuse after his pregnant fiance reportedly showed the cops bruising on her neck and arms. mcdonald was booked and on $25,000 bail. 49ers are taking issue seriously. new rules mandate a six-game suspension for the first offense and the second offense could be a complete ban. heather: huge story, here. now to a potential breakthrough for millions of heart patients worldwide. doctors in switzerland unveiling a experimental new drug to help
7:24 am
treat heart failure they say is more effective than anything they have come up with so far. dr. devi is a doctor of medicine and rehabilitation and nyu school of medicine with more details. we're told this is the most significant advancement in heart disease in 25 years. do you believe that is the case and what makes it so different? >> i think it is exciting especially for heart patients. they compared the new drug to people on standard treatment, they did so much better they stopped the study early. that rarely happens, especially in a study of 8,000 people. the thing to understand to begin with, it is a study on heart failure patients. heart failure is a little bit different. the problem there the heart can't pump the blood effectively enough to get it to the body. it getting tired out. people can feel tired and short of breath and leg swellings
7:25 am
things like that. best way to think about it, a little bit gross, like with your toilet bowl, the heart is filling with blood and pumps it all at once to get to the rest of the victim's and you press flush to get everything out. in heart failure the heart can't pump out as much as it needs to so the amount of blood it is able to pump out is less. it helps your blood vessels to relax. continuing on with the analogy, what you have a spink sink, once the piping gets clogged it is hard for the sink to clear. heather: right. >> the same idea, instead of necessarily getting out all the junk with which might be cholesterol and stuff, you're making the drain a little bit bigger. the pipes are getting a little bit bigger. >> that is the difference between this drug and one previously or still being used? into they have kind of the same end result which is they make the pipes bigger. this one seems to be more effective at doing it. it makes the blood vessels
7:26 am
expand or relax, so the heart can pump more easily. heather: more effective to the people in this particular study. how significant is the difference in terms of people that are able to successfully use it? >> it was dramatic. this drug started out as a backup drug. if people couldn't take the standard like a ace inhibitor, if they had side-effects they might have gotten to switch a drug in this classification. they took this drug and paired it with another drug. essentially what it is doing, is using a couple of different properties to be able to work a little bit better. it was such a dramatic difference. the people in the group got hospitalized less. the rate of heart failure dying was a lot less. the symptoms are dramatically better. heather: does it work the same across the board for men and women, elderly patients, younger patients, could all groups potentially use this? >> there could be. there are different types of heart failure and could be
7:27 am
caused from different things. most of time we've seen it in people that have heart attacks and the heart is weak with a hard time pumping. people could be different than infections or something else damaged the heart. this study looked at more older people. more common reasons. heather: okay. >> way that it work was theoretically work for a lot of different people. a huge advance. heather: 26 million people across america and europe, suffer from your heart failure every year, could potentially affect a whole lot of people. >> yeah. the hard part, it will only be available in 2015 sometime because they have to go through the different process with fd. and everything else. but yeah,. heather: sooner than it would have been before with the study. dr. devi, thank you so much for joining us. information people can use. eric. eric: can be a godsend. we're told president obama is considering delaying action on immigration reform, that is until after midterms in november. so why the wait?
7:28 am
and we'll have this. heather: down she goes. the city skyline looks much different today after the final smokestack of a historic power plant comes crashing down.

>> ukrainian forces losing more ground as heavy fighting continues with pro-russian separatists. meanwhile russian president vladmir putin calling for talks that would quote, determine statehood in southeastern ukraine. chief washington correspondent james rosen joins us live. james, on capitol hill, there seems to abroad support for tougher measures to meet the russian threat. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, heather. with the u.s. now charging that the russian federation is mounting a defacto invasion of southeastern ukraine the obama administration has only committed to provide non-lethal assistance to the ukrainian military. republican critics of the
7:32 am
administration like arizona senator john mccain have long urged the white house to sends arms directly to kiev. on sunday the democratic chair of the senate foreign relations committee agreed, calling on president obama to provide ukraine, with defensive weaponry. >> i think putin has sized up the west. the most difficult sanctions against russia and the arms necessary for the ukrainians to be able to defend themselves is not coming from the west and we have to prove him wrong. >> reporter: menendez said that also would mean tougher sanctions on russia oil and gas sectors, heather. heather: that was scary. putin made comments recently that suggested to some he is willing to escalate the situation in south eastern ukraine into nuclear conflict. what about that? >> reporter: recent days the russian president speak of the new russia. since putin throughout this crisis inherent right to act
7:33 am
with ethnic russians outside the borders he sees southeastern ukraine as part of new russia. putin warned, it is better not to come against russia with a possible armed conflict, because it is one of the most powerful nuclear nations. the u.s. is ahead heeding that advice sticking with a policy of targets financial sanctions. >> we can't predict what will provoke president putin to change his behavior, however, our view is that significant impact on the economy in his own country, a country that he says he loves, should have an impact. >> reporter: at this week's forthcoming nato summit in wales to be attended by president obama he will meet with several european allies that joined him in sanctions against russia such as britain, france and germany which not ceased their own sales of military hardware to russia. heather? heather: at what point do you say that the sanctions are just not working? james rosen, thank you.
7:34 am
>> reporter: thank you. eric: well president obama is considering poet.ing action on immigration reform until after the midterm elections. he is facing pressure from vulnerable democrats shelving issue or risk turn out of voters who oppose immigration reef form. the president said he would act alone by summer's end but so far that hasn't happened. supporters are urging him to use executive power to do something soon. critics say that is good move. >> i think the president should move with executive order to halt deportations to reduce them. i think he kind of made this commitment. i think it will also, policywise, it makes sense because the congress has been unable to pass comprehensive immigration, not pass it but consider it. >> he is undercutting congressional authority and breeding enormous distrust on
7:35 am
the other side. if you make a deal with him he won't keep the deal. i think the president is wise to pull back. he is clearly doing it for short-term tactical reasons. if he wants a bill before the end of his presidency he will not act unlateralry. he will work with congress. he hasn't done that so far. eric: guy benson, townhall.com political editor and and jessica ehrlich, former congressional candidate. welcome on labor day. >> happy, labor day. eric: the white house had said the president would grant legal status to five million illegals by now. do you think he has bent to political pressure? >> look, i think this is about politics. so you are right to frame the question through a political lens. i think what the white house was trying to do achieve two goals. one was more medium term, one in the short term. medium term they wanted to change facts on the ground when it comes to immigration and make it difficult politically for future president or future congress to undo what would be
7:36 am
this so-called temporary measure. in the shorter term i think what democrats were hoping executive action from the president would provoke very aingely response with the republicans, with some people throwing around words like impeachment or government shutdown which the democrats would exploit to raise money and motivate their base. what we're seeing red and purple state democrats i imagine, i suspect are going through in focus grouping and polling this issue and they're realizing this would be a major political football a very combustible issue that could trigger a short-term, midterm backlash should the president act before november. eric: jessica, would that mean that for those vulnerable democrats? >> well i think immigration has been an issue that is really gotten bipartisan support at this point for immigration reform especially given crises we had down at the border. the sort of back and forth that is going on particularly with the senate elections coming up, what is it that will really be the red meat that will motivate
7:37 am
both whether republican base or democratic base? i think, good, strong moves on immigration do get democrats riled up and out to vote and it could have a similar effect with the republican base. but these are going to be competitive elections regardless and it will be very interesting to see because that republican base already is furious at the president for all the other executive actions and everything else going on. is immigration really the tipping point they need to get control of the senate? i don't think so. eric: wellings that's where we have to leave it right now. we have breaking news. we'll see if the president does anything on this executive order or if he waits until after the midterms. guy, jessica, thank you so much. >> thank you. heather: want to take you live now, this fox news alert, to british prime minister david cameron who is speaking to parliament. we've been told he will speak out even further against isis. he has spoken very strongly against them. let's listen to what he has to say. >> by over a billion people and one that inspires countless acts of kindness every day there is.
7:38 am
to confront the threat of islamic extremism, we need a tough, intelligent, patient, comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. we must use all the resources at our disposea, our aid, our diplomacy and our military. we need a firm security response, with military action to go after terrorists, international cooperation on intelligence or uncompromising action against terrorists at home. britain is providing equipment directly to kurdish forces. we support u.s. military airstrikes against isil in iraq. we've secured the united nations security council resolution to disrupt flows of finance to isil, to sanction those who are seeking to recute to isil and to encourage countries to do all they can't to prevent foreign fighters from joining the extremist cause. along a tough security response there must be the right political response. terrorist organizations thrive where there is political instability and weak or
7:39 am
dysfunctional institutions. we must support the building blocks of free and open societies. in syria it must mean a political transition and an end to assad's brutality which allowed isil to flourish. in e in iraq that must begin with new, genuinely inclusive government capable of uniting all iraqis, sunni, kurd, christian and others against the shared threat. the nato summit in wales this week will provide the opportunity for tours review the effectiveness of the international response so far and discuss what more we should do to help the region overcome the isil threat. britain will consider what further role is in our national interests, including any further diplomatic, humanitarian or indeed military measures we might take. mr. speaker, let me turn to how we address the terrorist threat at home. we have already taken a wide range of measures including stopping suspects from traveling to the region by seizing passports, barring foreign nationals from reentering the united kingdom, legislating so
7:40 am
we can prosecute people for all terrorist activity, even where that activity takes place overseas, and bringing forward emergency legislation, for instance to safeguard our use of communication data. we also stepped upup our operational response with a five-fold increase in syria-related arrests. removal of 28,000 pieces extremist material from the internet this year alone, including 46 isil-related videos. i said all along, there should not be knee-jerk reaction or introduction of sweeping new blanket powers that would ultimately be ineffective. that is not what those who work hard to keep us safe actually want. they want a targeted approach that reflects forensic focus on the threat we face and protects the operation, independence, and decision making. to achieve this there are two key areas where we need to strengthen our powsers to fill specific gaps in our armory. this is preventing suspects from traveling and dealing decisively with those already here who pose
7:41 am
a risk around i want to mention them both briefly. first, stopping people from traveling in the first place. mr. speaker, passports are not an automatic right. home secretary already has the discretion to issue, revoke and refuse passports under their prerogative if there is reason to believe people are planning to take part in terrorist-related activity. when police suspect a traveler at the border, they're not currently able to apply for the prerogative and only have limited stop and search powers. we will introduce specific and targeted legislation to fill this gap by providing the police with a temporary power to seize a passport at the border during which time they will be able to investigate the individual concerned. this power would include appropriate safeguards and oversight arrangements. mr. speaker, the house should also be aware that our current royal prerogative powers are being challenged in the courts. i want to be clear. if there is any judgment that threatens the operation of our existing powers, we will introduce pry murray legislation
7:42 am
immediately so that parliament, not the courts can determine whether it is right that we have this power. and i can announce today that we'll now start preparing the primary legislation and consult parliament on the draft clauses. as well as stopping people going we must keep out foreign fighters who would pose a threat to the u.k. we do already have important powers to block return. we can deprive nationals from their citizenship and returning. bar foreign nationals and the threat they pros and in the immigration act we have stronger powers to strip citizenship from naturalized britons. these powers do not apply to those who are solely british nationals who could be rendered stateless if deprived of citizenship. some said we should deal the with this criminalize travel to certain countries or fundamentally changing the burden of proof. the government is clear it would be wrong to deal with this gap by fundamentally changing core principles of our criminal justice system. but it is abhor ender that
7:43 am
people who declare their allegiance elsewhere are able to return to the united kingdom and pose a threat to our national security. we're clear in principle that what we need is targeted discretionary power to allow us to exclude british unless from the being and work up proposals in line with our international obligations and discuss details on cross party basis. mr. speaker, we're putting our longstanding arrangements on aviation security around the world on statutory footing. airlines will have to comply with the no-fly list arrangements, give us information on passenger lists and comply with our security screening requirements, if they do not do this, their flights will not be able to land in britain. second we need stronger powers to manage the risk posed by suspected extremists already here in the united kingdom. the home secretary can impose terrorism prevention and investigation measures on security ground, overnight residence requirements and internet restrictions but the intelligence agencies and police
7:44 am
believe they need stronger powers to impose further restrictions and independent reviewer of counterterrorism legislation, david anderson, agrees. we will introduce new powers to add to our existing terrorism prevention and investigation measures, including stronger locational constraints on suspects on the -- through enhanced exclusion zones or through relocation powers. mr. speaker, dealing with this terrorist threat is not just about new powers, it is also about how we combat extremism in all its forms. that is why we have a new approach to tackling radicalization, focusing on all types of extremism, not just violent extremism. this has included stopping the funding of organizations that promote extremism, banning hate preachers, and insuring that every part of government from schools and universities to prisons, are all focused on beating this scourge of extremism. as part of this we're putting deradicalization program called
7:45 am
channel on statutory footing. anyone subject to our strengthened terrorism prevention investigation measures will be required to engage with the prevent program. mr. speaker, we are proud to be an open, free, and tolerant nation. but that tolerance must never be confused with passive acceptance of cultures, living separate lives, or people behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values. adhering to british values is not an option or a choice. it's a duty for all those who live into these islands. so we will stand up for our values, we will in the end defeat this extremism and secure our way of life for generations to come and i commend this statement to the house. >> ed miliband. >> mr. speaker, i thank the prime minister for his statement. this summer of international instability -- heather: you've been listening to british prime minister david cameron addressing parliament there with his very strategic plan and detailed plan how to deal with the isis threat in his
7:46 am
country. perhaps twofold. he mentioned how to deal with any isis suspects who may be attempting to enter his country and how to deal with those who are already there. he said that it is not just about dealing with new powers that should be divvied out to parliament there but also how to combat extremism in all of its forms and on that count he talked about a forensic focus of the threat. eric, i think we'll talk a little bit more maybe how the white house will respond to this. eric: yeah. chief white house correspondent ed henry joins us with the very latest. ed, we just heard some tough, decisive, immediate action taken by the british prime minister against terrorism and against isis. why haven't we heard the same thing from the president of the united states? >> reporter: eric, a fair question. one the white house will be dealing with all this week. i can guaranty for two reasons. one we saw the study in contrast between the two leaders last week. president had news conference at white house last week.
7:47 am
appeared not to have good answers about what is the way ahead for america in contrast to friday when david cameron went out with a news conference of his own saying britain would not sit on its heels. they would raise terror threat level because of isis and he would have this plan early this week to take some more steps moving forward. the second reason why this story is going to be very many alive this week not just because the ongoing threat from isis but the fact that president obama, prime minister cameron will be together in wales this week at the nato summit. all of these big international crisis will be front and center for all the world to see. we should note is not like david cameron is going out and launching british airstrikes without the u.s.'s help in syria or iraq. it has been the u.s. with president obama's leadership has taken the lead in iraq, more than well over 100 us air strikes there, dealing with humanitarian crises. trying to get the mosul dam back in iraqi government hand instead of in isis's hands.
7:48 am
in syria we've not seen that kind of american leadership. important to point out, david sam ron, said will not launch airstrikes on his own. the plan he is laying out more what he wants to do at home. this great fear within the u.k., that you have these foreign fighters, who are there with isis fighting alongside them in syria as we've seen some americans doing as well who have western passports. there is great fear in britain, they will go back there and potentially launch terror attacks. fear in america, we heard that from senior officials and democrats and republicans democrats like dianne feinstein saying, what is the plan? with that respect, david cameron getting out ahead of president obama. we're not sitting on our heels. here is our plan to deal with this crisis. eric: finally he had controversial proposal. banning exports. internal exile. relocation. this sort of thing, very serious situation especially 500 of islamists, 250 believed to be back in great britain.
7:49 am
>> you heard some booing and hissing there as the political theater of the house of commons we've seen many times over the years, the opposition is not going to be happy. civil liberties and the like saying some of these measures are too drastic but look, when, back here at home in america, we have heard the president's own cabinet, defense secretary chuck hagel saying in recent days this is worse than al qaeda in pre9/11. this is serious threat. david cameron is jumping out there to take defensive measures. eric: we'll see if the president follows the british prime minister. ed henry, thank you very much. >> greta van susteren with a special labor day tribute to our nation's veterans. helping wounded warriors return to normal life here at home. perfect timing. we're offering our best-ever pricing on mobile plans for business. run the numbers on that. well, unlimited talk and text, and ten gigs of data for the five of you would be... one-seventy-five a month.

heather: now to a story about giving back to our nation's heroes. fox news's greta van susteren and correspondent kris jenkins spent this 4th of july weekend in alaska with wounded veterans and their spouses as part of what is called operation heal our patriots. here is a clip. >> when i left i was in charge of everything. when i got home, i have to have someone tell me when to bathe. i mean, you don't remember if you took a bath or not. you know, you can't drive anymore because you know, forget where the car is. and, now you're dependent on everybody for everything and it just, you're mad at the world because that is not who you were. it is hard on her because, you tend to blame your spouse for everything, because you just don't know what is going on. your world has turned upside down. heather: joining me now is fox news correspondent kris jenkins who worked on the fox news
7:54 am
